Fascinating impact of silicon and silicon transporters in plants: A review
Shweta Gaur,Jitendra Kumar,Dharmendra Kumar,Devendra Kumar Chauhan,Sheo Mohan Prasad,Prabhat Kumar Srivastava +5 more
TL;DR: This review has attempted to compile studies related to plants, its role in abiotic and biotic stress, its uptake in various parts of plants via different types of Si-transporters, expression pattern, localization and the solute specificity, and will provide the compiled knowledge about the genetic variation among crop plants.

Alleviating soil degradation caused by watermelon continuous cropping obstacle: Application of urban waste compost.
TL;DR: Results showed that soil pH, available potassium, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen and organic matter changed significantly after using maize straw compost and sludge compost, which indicated the feasibility of composts as soil remediations.

Effects of Silicon on Growth, Yield and Fruit Quality of Cantaloupe under Drought Stress
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Si on growth, yield and fruit quality of cantaloupe under drought stress were evaluated in a polyhouse experiment, where the treatments consisted of four Si fertilizer doses (0, 100, 200 and 400 kg−1) applied in the form of silicic acid [H4SiO4, 20% Si content] and three soil moisture regimes (100, 75% and 50% field capacity [FC]).

Allelopathic and Competitive Interactions Between Native and Alien Plants
Ling Yuan,Junmin Li,Fei-Hai Yu,Ayub M. O. Oduor,Ayub M. O. Oduor,Mark van Kleunen,Mark van Kleunen +6 more
TL;DR: Alien plants had negative competitive and allelopathic effects on native plants, but the reverse was also true; these alien-native interactions were not consistently stronger or weaker than native-native or alien-alien interactions.

Reactive oxygen gene network of plants
TL;DR: In Arabidopsis, a network of at least 152 genes is involved in managing the level of ROS, and this network is highly dynamic and redundant, and encodes ROS-scavenging and ROS-producing proteins.

The assay of catalases and peroxidases.
Britton Chance,A.C. Maehly +1 more
TL;DR: Two methods are described for the catalase assay by disappearance of peroxide are: ultraviolet spectrophotometry and permanganate titration and indirect measurements of the decrease of light absorption caused by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide byCatalase.

Silicon uptake and accumulation in higher plants
Jian Feng Ma,Naoki Yamaji +1 more
TL;DR: Genetically manipulating the Si uptake capacity of the root might help plants to accumulate more Si and, hence, improve their ability to overcome biotic and abiotic stresses.

Seed Germination and Vigor
Loïc Rajjou,Manuel Duval,Karine Gallardo,Julie Catusse,Julia Bally,Claudette Job,Dominique Job +6 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that germination vigor depends on multiple biochemical and molecular variables and their characterization is expected to deliver new markers of seed quality that can be used in breeding programs and/or in biotechnological approaches to improve crop yields.
